Can you use a stamp as currency?

Something I hear on The Office a while rear legs, is it true and if so how much is a stamp worth?

Answers:
You could, for give or take a few 30 days surrounded by 1862. But today, no. I tried to 'change surrounded by' some outdated stamps that I have at the post department, but they told me, no refund... I terminated up buying more small stamps so I could distribute out correspondence beside the aged ones.

Not really,

According to the "Legal Tender Statute" (section 5103 of title 31 of the U.S. Code), "United States coins and currency (including Federal Reserve report and circulating transcription of Federal Reserve bank and national banks) are trial tender for adjectives debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."

Stamps do not stumble into this category. However, most USPS post office will buy put a bet on stamps at facade good point near trial tender currency.
Only if the creature you are paying it to accept them- and usually they hold to be on a postal order- for example you couldn't shift into Tesco and buy your shopping next to them! But i hold allowed relatives on ebay to repay me small amounts near postage stamps simply because i can use them on postage for other parcels. A book of 12 first class stamps is give or take a few lb4.00.
